Randy Moss: Pennington Factor?

Wasnt Pennington Moss' college QB? Do they have a good relationship? If so, could that be a factor in keeping Moss in check here? The bad would be that Moss would publicly stump for Pennington to take over if Henne and him don't click.

From a pure football perspective, this would be a great move. I don't care if he doesn't catch a single pass all year, his presence alone on the field is worth a claim. Look at Welker AFTER moss left, and look at Harvin AFTER moss arrived. He would make this wr trio of marshall bess and moss unstoppable. Add to that a chance to stick it to the patriots, and this becomes a no brainer to me.

Worst case scenario it doesnt work-out, then we let him walk at the end of the year.

I have to wonder how we would handle Moss if he acts up.. we couldn't even handle Porter. We kept freaking Cameron Wake on the bench just so we wouldn't upset Porter.

The thing is that Brandon Marshall is the clear number 1 here. He couldn't come in and expect everyone to drop everything for him. When the coaching staff came in, Porter was already the leader here. It wouldn't be the same situation with Moss.

"Randy is very sad to find out about being waived by the Vikings this morning," Moss' agent, Joel Segal, said in an e-mail to the Star Tribune. "He has and always will remain fond of the fans in Minnesota. We will let the process of the waiver wire take its course and we will move on from there."

Moss now will be on the waiver wire until Tuesday afternoon. Segal said he already has heard from Miami and Seattle. Any team that claims Moss would be responsible for the balance of Moss' $6.4 million base salary or the Vikings will owe the balance
